• Shorter cycle time increases productivity
• Attractive finishes and stable quality
• Short thread remaining length after
thread trimming
• Flexible combinations are possible with
computer control type
Optimized thread tension ensures that finishes are always stable and
attractive. Total cycle time is shorter, and these models are ideal for both
multi-variety small-lot production and small-variety large-lot production.
Increased productivity
• Cycle times have been reduced.
Unnecessary feeding after thread trimming has been eliminated and the time taken for thread trimming
has been reduced. In addition, color change is also carried out at high speed, so that total cycle time
has been reduced by about 5% (compared to previous Brother products).
• Switching between flat frames
and cap frames is simple.
There is no need to replace the
needle plate or adjust the presser foot
height when replacing frames, so
overall setup time has been greatly
reduced. Installing and removing the
cap frame driver is also simplified.

Increased productivity
• Reduced downtime, with thread breakages and thread
tangling prevented before they occur.
Highly-sensitive upper thread breakage sensors which monitor
lower thread breakages as well are equipped as standard, so that if
a thread breakage occurs or bobbin runs out, it is detected straight
away. This keeps downtime to an absolute minimum.
Rotary hooks that reduce the load placed on the threads have been
adopted. In addition, an optimized thread take-up mechanism has
also been adopted to prevent thread breakages.
A thread take-up cover is provided to accurately prevent the thread
tangles around the take-up levers.
Stable and attractive finishes are provided.
The adoption of a thread take-up mechanism that has been optimized to provide the ideal thread tightness
and a high-precision feed control mechanism provide stable seam tightness under an even wider range of
conditions so that high-quality finishes can always be obtained. Newly-developed double-capacity rotary
hooks ensure stable thread tightness, and correct thread tensions can be obtained for light through to
heavy materials.
Short thread remaining lengths
The thread trimming knife is located as close to the needle plate as possible. The thread remaining length
underneath the material is approx. 6 mm short. Because the thread remaining length is so short, the
thread does not need to be manually trimmed.
Low vibration and low noise
A reduction in jump noise means that vibration has been greatly reduced, and at the same time operation
is much quieter overall.
Flexible response to customer needs (computer control type)
• Machines can be combined to meet customer needs.
A single computer can control maximum four units. These four units can be operated independently at the
same time, which is ideal for large-variety small-lot production runs and for producing different items at the
same time. It also allows productivity to be greatly increased.
4 head and 6 head
embroidery machines can
also be combined, so that
you can select the number
of heads -- for example, 8
heads (4 + 4), 10 heads (6
+ 4) or 12 heads (6 + 6) --
in accordance with your
needs.

Flexible response to customer needs (computer control type)
• Computer control allows centralized control.
The progress of embroidering jobs are displayed on the computer
screen. Details such as number of stitches, job progress,
embroidering speed and speed ranges are visible in real time.
Production statistics can also be collated to provide information for
better production control. The information can also be displayed in
graphs by using commercially-available graph plotting software.
Embroidery patterns can be classified and stored in separate
folders.
Stand-alone type is also available for operating machines individually without computer.
Option
Border frame Tubular frame Cap frame
Bobbin winder
The bobbins can be wound either while
embroidering is in progress or while the
machine is stopped.
Peripheral equipment
BES-300N
Integrated network system
Height adjustable table
When using a tubular frame or cap frame, the
table can simply be lowered without needing to be
removed. (Available soon)
Spider net frame
Multiple embroidery machines are connected together for more efficient
management. (Distribution of embroidery data, Centralized database management,
Real-time monitoring of embroidery machines, Generation of production reports)
Only stand-alone embroidery machines can be connected. Computer-controlled
machines cannot be connected.
